Issouf Zerbo, Kounbo Dabiré, Sibiry Albert Kaboré, Constant Martin Sawadogo, Adjima Thiombiano
Introduction
In West Africa, market gardeners use various agricultural practices to increase yields. However, many of these practices do not comply with agroecological standards and cause intoxication, pollution, soil degradation and biodiversity loss. This study characterizes the plant agrobiodiversity of market garden crops grown during the(...)
